“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers.

«This is what I long for». Trame e desiderio in Philip Roth e Don DeLillo
No full textL’articolo indaga la relazione tra la messa in intreccio e una particolare forma di desiderio (longing) in due classici della narrativa contemporanea: American Pastoral di Philip Roth e Underworld di Don DeLillo, entrambi pubblicati nel 1997. Dopo un’iniziale contestualizzazione, in cui vengono delineati alcuni paradossi della svolta narrativa, l’analisi si concentra sulla costruzione formale dei due testi. Un’attenzione particolare viene rivolta al modo in cui il rapporto tra trama e desiderio illumina alcuni aspetti cruciali del contesto storico intercettato dai due romanzi.The essay aims at exploring the relation between plotting and longing in two classics of contemporary literature: Philip Roth’s American Pastoral and Don DeLillo’s Underworld, both published in 1997. After an opening contextualization, referring on some paradoxes of the narrative turn, the analysis focuses on the formal aspects of the two novels. A specific attention, then, is paid to some pivotal questions of the historical context the novels deal with
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy

Was bringt die Föderalismusreform? Wahrscheinliche Effekte der geänderten Zustimmungspflicht
No full textThe recently enacted reform of German federalism is supposed to make legislation faster, more efficient and better. To what extent are these expectations justified? In order to assess the likely effects of the reform, this study uses a research design that was recently applied by the Research and Reference Services of the German Bundestag (parliament): we estimate the future effects of the reform by analyzing the impact it would have had on the legislation in the 14th and 15th term of the Bundestag if it had already been been in force at that time. In particular we ask: To what extent would the number of laws requiring the consent of the states' chamber, the Bundesrat, have been reduced? Which type of laws would have been affected by this reduction - the more controversial ones, or the less controversial ones? Which policy sectors would have seen the greatest reduction? How much would the reduction have increased the government's capacity to act effectively? Would the legislative process have been accelerated? -- Die verabschiedete Föderalismusreform soll die Gesetzgebung in Deutschland schneller, effizienter und besser machen. Inwiefern sind diese Erwartungen berechtigt? Zur Abschätzung der Reformfolgen auf die Bundesgesetzgebung folgen wir in dem vorliegenden Working Paper einer Vorgehensweise, die der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages kürzlich in einer Studie angewandt hat: Die Auswirkungen der Föderalismusreform insbesondere auf die Zustimmungspflicht werden anhand der Gesetzgebung der 14. und 15. Legislaturperiode untersucht. Wir fragen insbesondere: Wie stark hätte sich der Anteil der Zustimmungsgesetze verringert, wenn die neuen Zustimmungsregeln schon in diesen beiden Legislaturperioden gegolten hätten? Wären eher zwischen Regierung strittige oder unstrittige Gesetze von der Zustimmungspflicht befreit worden? Welche Politikbereiche wären betroffen? Wie sehr hätte sich die politische Handlungsfreiheit der Bundesregierung erhöht? Wäre die Gesetzgebung durch die veränderten Zustimmungsregeln beschleunigt worden?
Idea ofiary u Simone Weil
No full textAutorka omawia ofiarę, jaką z samej siebie złożyła Simone Weil. Głównym celem autorki artykułu jest wykazanie, iż idea ofiary była najważniejszą myślą w życiu francuskiej filozof. W artykule ukazano myśl o ofierze w życiu i pismach intelektualistki, jak również analogie, które rzucają nowe światło na ofiarę Weil. Jako klucz do interpretacji i zrozumienia ofiary Weil, autorka analizuje myśl Emmanuela Levinasa oraz Józefa Tischnera.The author interprets the sacrifice that Simone Weil filed with itself. The main point of the present article is the assumption that the sacrifice Simone Weil was the most important idea of her life. A thought about the victim is portraying the article in the life and letters of the intellectual, as well as is portraying analogies which are shedding new light on the Weil victim.

Tracing Theories of the ‘Subject’ and ‘Intersubjectivity’ Through the Videos Nancy Drew and I’ve Been Reading Simone de Beauvoir
No full textThe videos Nancy Drew and I've been reading Simone de Beauvoir are exhibited together as part of my MFA thesis exhibition. These videos reflect my own process and understanding of myself as a female subject. In both Nancy Drew and I've been reading Simone de Beauvoir, I have inserted my autobiographical narrative within the narratives of the young girl's mystery novel character Nancy Drew and the legendary figure of French writer, philosopher, and feminist Simone de Beauvoir. My intention in both of these videos is to create an ambiguous open-ended narrative and experience in which I can explore notions of feminine identity and into which viewers can insert themselves.
In the process of analyzing these videos within the framework of feminine identity analysis I have had to identify and clarify the critical terms: 'subject,' ' other,' and 'intersubjectivity.' I have accomplished this by perusing western philosophical viewpoints, Simone de Beauvoir and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's amendments and inventions, the viewpoints of more contemporary theorists such as Joan W. Scott, Claire Nouvet, Slavoj Zizek, and Amelia Jones, as well as my own. This investigation manifests as a montage/patchwork of my own work, philosophy, critical theory and feminist theory that serves my purposes as an artist/critical theorist/sleuth. This tracing of the subject through theory and through my videos is the basis for this thesis.

«Out there in the world»: la violenza del reale nell'America di fine millennio
No full textThis essay draws inspiration from two novels and a film realized at the end of the 20th Century, Underworld by DeLillo, American Pastoral by Roth, and Fight Club by Fincher, in order to develop a reflection upon the relationship between reality and fiction, focusing mainly on the depiction of violence. The analysis of formal and structural aspects is alternated with thematic considerations. Each of these three case studies refers to an «out there» chaotic world in contrast to the characters’ ordinary lives, which are perceived as inauthentic. Il saggio prende spunto da due romanzi e un film statunitensi di fine Novecento, Underworld di DeLillo, Pastorale americana di Roth e Fight Club di Fincher, per sviluppare una riflessione sul rapporto tra realtà e finzione prestando particolare attenzione alla tematizzazione della violenza. All’analisi degli aspetti formali e strutturali delle opere si alternano considerazioni di carattere tematico. In tutti e tre i casi emerge un significativo rimando a un mondo «là fuori», caotico e non consolante, contrapposto alle esistenze ordinarie dei personaggi, avvertite come inautentiche.
